Printers for Scales, Truck Scales, and Weighing Systems

Printers for scales are used to print weight tickets, labels, and transaction records directly from weighing systems. These printers are commonly paired with truck scales, counting scales, bench scales, floor scales, and industrial weighing equipment to improve accuracy, documentation, and workflow efficiency.

American Scale Supply offers scale-compatible printers that support a wide range of applications, including truck scale ticket printing, counting scale reporting, and label printing for inventory and production. Our selection includes printers compatible with leading scale manufacturers such as Rice Lake and Fairbanks, as well as Epson-based printing solutions for industrial weighing systems.

Truck Scale Ticket Printers

Truck scale printers are commonly used to print inbound and outbound weight tickets at truck scales and vehicle weighing systems. These printers generate clear, reliable weight records for shipping, receiving, scrap, agriculture, waste management, and logistics operations.

Scale printers used for truck scales are typically connected directly to the truck scale indicator and print gross, tare, and net weights along with date, time, and transaction details. Many operations rely on Epson-based truck scale printers due to their speed, reliability, and long-term support in legal-for-trade environments.

These printers are well suited for high-volume weighing locations where durability and consistent ticket output are critical.

Printers for Counting Scales

Counting scale printers are used to document piece counts, part quantities, and weight-based inventory calculations. By printing count reports directly from a counting scale, operators can reduce manual entry errors and improve traceability in production and warehouse environments.

Printers paired with counting scales are commonly used in manufacturing, assembly, and inventory control applications. Printed records may include piece count, unit weight, total weight, and operator or batch information.

Using a dedicated printer with a counting scale helps maintain accurate records and supports quality control and auditing requirements.

Label Printers for Scales

Label scale printers produce adhesive labels that include weight, product information, barcodes, dates, and lot numbers. These printers are commonly used in food processing, manufacturing, packaging, and inventory labeling applications.

Label printers for scales help ensure consistent product identification and simplify downstream processes such as scanning, shipping, and traceability. Many scale-compatible label printers support custom label formats and can be configured to match specific workflow requirements.

Selecting the correct label printer depends on label size, print resolution, and compatibility with your scale’s communication output.

Compatible with Leading Scale Brands

The printers offered by American Scale Supply are compatible with a wide range of digital weighing systems and indicators. These printers are commonly used with scales from manufacturers such as Rice Lake and Fairbanks, as well as other industrial and commercial scale brands.
